The Far North Of England Regional Discussion Thread - Part 2

It's funny how a pleasant springlike day such as today can make you yearn for spring rather than wintry weather.

Knowing that the models are showing nothing wintry helps ones mindset and enables one to enjoy the other weather types afforded to us.

14.2C at Cleadon yesterday, although the 24th February 2011 was a little warmer at 14.6C. Thursday will indeed be interesting if the sun gets out, but today looks set to be cloudy all day.

12.5°C today - not as warm as yesterday, and not as springlike with all the cloud. Did anyone else have very strong winds this morning? I did and was quite surprised, although they've died away now.

29.2mm of rain, 58mph wind and a top temperature of 9.8º. Brill.

[Alex95]

1.5mm of rain here today, and I'd guess 50mph gusts this morning as it was quite hard to walk against them.

EDIT: Albemarle reported 40mph, so probably not as much as 50mph here.

Stark contrast between G Asby and Appleby today. Just 3.6mm there. Looking on the radar you were just on the edge of heavy rain over the southern half of Cumbria. Nothing notable here, wetter on Monday. Interesting day tomorrow.

0.2mm here today and 8.8mm so far in February!

Remarkably it's up at 14.1C at Cleadon now- the highest of the day.

13.5°C here, and slowly rising. There was a few patches of clear sky before it went totally dark this evening so I'm confident tomorrow will be quite sunny.

If we do get much sunshine tomorrow it could well rival the 13th February 1998 which got to 16.9C here, and exceeded 17C in some parts of the region. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on tomorrow's temperature!

[JP1972]

BBC Look North widely predicting 15c for the North East tomorrow, crackers I tell ya, bloody crackers!

[Teesdale]

Warmer air pushing East temp gone up by 1C in last hour, just done the same at Copley further East.

10C at present.

Summer has arrived in Newcastle

Actually, that's not strictly true as the Appleby station hasn't updated since Saturday (I shall have words) but I was told by the station's owner that Appleby had received 2mm of rain yesterday whereas I'd received just short of 30mm. Not a bad difference for 5 miles!

Who get the best foehn effect then?

Whitby's a contender, has held national records this time of year in the past.

13.2 there currently but it isn't sunny yet.
